what do you see when you look at this??

I saw the magic in its rust and smiled about how many camp fires and tea pots it had filled to get so old and scruffy..if only it could talk..what secrets it could tell!! Now its too rusty to make tea i wanted it to continue its journey..yesterday my daughter used it to water her sunflowers, today it is filled with an unknown flowery type weed that lives in the fields near my house..who knows what it will be tomorrow..

perhaps a jacuzzi for barbie ... a water pistol refiller...

& so its magical journey continues..

Did you just see a rusty old kettle?

if so dig out your rose tinted specs and take time to breathe & see the magic in everything around you

(its makes even the most difficult days a little easier to live through)

Yay summer holidays are here!

 we are off on adventures so blogging may be few & far between!

Our summer plan is simple...

festivals, holidays and wandering in the camper through england & france..

being together as a family...

reading, chatting, eating & getting on each others nerves :)

but we'll be inspired & back with new projects and nonsense very soon

Vintage love to you all xx

Rain Rain Rain has stopped me working on my new camper harriets bodywork...Boo & Hiss!

so i have spent the time re-inventing a few of my hoarded pieces of treasure for swinderby next month..
Usually i paint eveything in clunch by farrow & ball but i went a bit wild yesterday & used....
Grey! A really dark grey by annie sloan and love it!

I wonder if swinderby is ready for non cream furniture....

Todays project.....

i want to make my camper as eco as possible..those of you who drive old cars & campers know they aren't the most eco car to use...but i'm trying to lower our impact on our lovely earth my only using recycled and natural materials... so todays plan is to transform these crates into cupboard doors for her...

Watch this space.....i'll post my finished article over the weekend -

This weekend in Leicestershire....
i'll be helping  at the fantastic 'songs for ela' charity event
